Sermon — Walking with God - Noah 1 song at the end Gen 6:5 NKJ Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts ( imaginations ) of his heart was only evil continually. —5 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. —6

So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” —-7 But Noah found grace ( favour ) in the eyes of the LORD.—-8 Noah Pleases God

This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. —-9 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.——10 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 11 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.—-12 The Ark Prepared (Heb. 11:7; 1 Pet. 3:20) And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth 13 Jesus said... Lk 17:26-27 NKJ And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: vs 26

They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 27 Note �� Talking about Noah & how people lived in his day... is probably the most relevant to our day. That means every Born Again person who is determined to live for God ... every Parent & every Christian School... every local Church some serious challenges ahead. Back to Gen 6:6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. —6

• We never want to be the kind of person that grieves God's heart.
• How many who used to walk with God...
• How many parents, when you think of your child... your heart grieves
• How many Pastors have watched people choose to another lifestyle... & know that they are grieving God's heart. How many backslidden Christians claim they are now free.... They say, I'm free from that Bondage... legalism, etc. Free from what?
• Church Attendance
• Tithing
• Behaving, submission to authority
• Serving
• Having people around that does not agree with sin... & carnal lifestyle. When someone says they're now free from religious bondage... what they really mean is...
• Free to life how they want
• Free to live like the world... & no one to correct them. Gen 6:7 So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” —-7
• We have a saying... "God is good all the time"
• It's true... God is good. However... we must get our definition of good from the Bible God's character is the measurement ... not our culture. Many people think that good is what our culture says is good ... or what the media says is good... or what worldly people say is good. Many confuse good with ... doing what I feel like doing... and if someone says no to their lifestyle ... than they think that is not good... because my feelings are hurt... can't be God, because He is good. Note:

God being good... does not mean He allows us to live our way. God will say no... DANGER: We are living in the days when the culture around us is calling what is good ( evil )... and what is evil ( good ). Isa 5:20-23 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! vs 20 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! vs 21 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: vs 22 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! vs 23

ATTN: " If the world is excited about something... it probably isn't good " The world is under the influence of the devil ... spirit or anti-Christ. 1 John 5:19 amp We know [positively] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] is under the power of the evil one. Turn back to ...Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace ( favour ) in the eyes of the LORD.—-8
